__NOTOC__
Eadwulf (died after 966) was an Anglo-Saxon cleric who served as Bishop of Elmham.
Personal life Eadwulf was a kinsman of another cleric named Cynehelm, who served as a priest.
Ecclesiastical life Eadwulf was consecrated at some point before 955.
Eadwulf became bishop during a tumultuous period of English history. Eadwulf was the first recorded bishop since the beginning of Danish rule in East Anglia, suggesting a lack of royal power in the region following the reign of Edward the Elder.
As bishop, Eadwulf was noted for his piety; being described as a "humble servant of Christ" during his episcopal profession. Eadwulf also displayed great obedience and devotion to Oda the Good, who was at that point Archbishop of Canterbury.
